This stillness doth perplex and harass me; An inward impulse drives me from repose, It still impels me to achieve my work, And sternly beckons me to meet my doom. A KNIGHT, entering hastily. CHARLES. What tidings? Speak! KNIGHT. The foe has crossed the Marne, And marshalleth his army for the fight. Battle and tumult! Now my soul is free. Arm, warriors, arm! while I prepare the troops.

She is beautiful " "I quite agree with you!" "You can imagine how fascinating she can be. She used no arts on me. Her purpose was to cower me. She found she could not do that, but she did a thing which helped her more: she proved that she was honest, perfectly sincere in what she thought. She believes that if she merely beckons to Philip, he will go to her.

In his own rushing words he clothed the simple thought of the charge that each one has to keep his angel strong, the white wings free for higher flights that come with growth. "The vision," he said, "is born with each of us, and though we lose it again and again, yet again and again it comes back and beckons, calls, and the voice thrills us always.

He is in his element; salient and masterful and strong.
"The ways of Death are soothing and serene, And all the words of Death are grave and sweet; Approaching ever, soft of hands and feet, She beckons us, and strife and song have been. A summer night, descending cool and green And dark on daytime's dust and stress and heat, The ways of Death are soothing and serene, And all the words of Death are grave and sweet.
Beloved, there is nothing nearer you at this moment than paradise, if you incline that way. God beckons you back into paradise at this moment, and calls you by name to come. Come, He says, and be one of My paradise children.
